Lowering my fat causes my skin (hands and face) to become extremely dry.
I notice dryness immediatly, as I come from a very high-fat carnivore diet where my skin was always fairly well moisturised because of the high fat intake.
I thought I was allergic to coconut oil (which I'm not, I was out too long in the sun and that caused a sunburn including hives) and this apparently lowered my fat intake so drastically that it made my skin super dry.
I have no idea how much I'm consuming in terms of grams of fat.
But I noticed that my skin gets dry and my facial skin and hair are less smooth, I'm less warm (which is probably also due to thyroid-benefits of coconut oil), my mood is worse and I'm more fatigued even though lower fat should increase insulin sensitivity.
I honestly have no idea what all these extremes are about. They just never seem to work for me.
Traditionally, people go for carbs and fatty cuts of meat, so why would that be bad right?
Just a heads up for people experiencing dry skin problems from lowering their fat too much.
